Ryan v. the City of Salem, et al.: Voter ID and Provisional Ballots
We continue our analysis of the Ward 6 election trial with a deep dive into the 13th, and last, vote contested by Jerry L. Ryan. This is the story of the voter who did not vote because of a problem producing proof of residency. In this post, we also dispel the notion that the Department of Transitional Assistance is participating in automatic voter registration. It is not.

Statement on Ward 7 Candidate Forum Cancellation
For the record, the League of Women Voters of Salem (LWVS) canceled the Ward 7 councilor candidate forum because incumbent Councilor Stephen Dibble did not respond to numerous requests for him to confirm his participation. He did not decline to participate; he simply left us hanging with no indication of when he might give us an answer. Finally, on the evening of 16 October, we canceled the forum planned for 22 October. If you’d like to read the details, click here.
